My almost-six-year-old son uses this pack for hiking, and it is a definite upgrade from his last one- it's great to find a small child's pack that is designed to be age appropriate. Small enough that he can't fill it too heavy, but big enough to store his own gear and even the treasures he finds on the trail, this pack is sturdy and easy to get in and out of too.
